Why THE BLACK CAULDRON is the GREATEST Disney movie ever 

It came out in the wrong time, I love the fact that it's dark and has castles and dragons and swords! And not as much singing.

The Black Cauldron is a Classic and a Masterpiece of Animation!

The corporate drama behind the scenes was what nearly crippled Disney. This and Atlantis the Lost Empire which also included a few strong female characters including Kida are both underrated gems and I hate the simplistic and stupid way people criticise them.

I agree, The Black Cauldron is the best animated movie ever

Reason #8: The Horned king and he was voiced by Sir John Hurt (RIP)

I had this on VHS when i was 5, Loved it!

You are the Man “Dragonzurker”. I love this movie and I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one who sees it. You put it better than I ever could. I’m showing this video to my family and friends so that I can rub this brilliant point in their faces

Wow! Look how good the animation on The Black Couldron is! Look how the kid looses and regains his balance while playing with the sword, you can really feel its wheight. Its amazing

I agree with you 100% Aside from being Disney’s 25th animated film, a high fantasy, based on Lloyd Alexander’s The Chronicles of Prydain. I enjoyed the Black Cauldron, and hoping for a Live action remake, and hopefully it would tie it more closely to the book series! 👍👍

I absolutely adore the early to mid (and near late, in some cases) Disney movies. It makes me a little sad knowing that kids nowadays won't ever truly experience the Disney that made movies for the sake of art and magic rather than money and pumping out products. I'm not sure if it's just me, but recent Disney movies seemed to have really lost the classic Disney magic and beauty

Instead of all those crappy movies that Disney remade, they should remake this! I know it will be good if they do, especially if they actually make the storyline like how it is in the book series.

To be honest, if this movie had catchy songs in it it would probably be less obscure bc the song would help it be remembered, even if as just "the movie that song is from."

Many say that, this film inspired Shigeru Miyamoto to create the Legend Of Zelda game series. But I must mention that, somehow I feel like this, this also inspired Sam Raimi when he wanted to make an Evil Dead movie that would take place in the Middle Ages, as shown at the end of Evil Dead 2, and of course in Army Of Darkness the whole film takes place in the Middle Ages. But like Army Of Darkness, which has often been criticized for not being a "traditional Evil Dead movie," The Black Cauldron is also criticized for not being a "traditional Disney movie." Which I find very annoying. I did not see Black Cauldron movie as a child, and the first time I saw this movie at the age of 21, but ever since I really liked this movie. A story set in the Middle Ages, a gloomy atmosphere, a magic sword, and a world you would like to explore. And I have to admit, this movie is one of the reasons I draw fantasy comics.

Another reason its good is because the princess doesn't sing like Rapunzel, Elsa and all those other princess'.

Do you think this movie deserves a remake?

I just watched this for the first time and really enjoyed it. It has wonderful animation, likable characters, and a fantastic story. It reminded me a lot of Lord of the Rings, in fact Andy Serkis based his Gollum voice, in part, on Gurgi. If I had to pick a weak point, it would be the barter scene with the witches, but I don’t understand why this movie is so heavily panned. I rate it 7/10.

You'll direct it, and I'll act as Taran.

Judging by its impact on TV it's had the last laugh: THE OWL HOUSE, AMPHIBIA and especially CENTAURWORLD all show its influence.

My fave Disney movie

You gotta Love the black couldren

I really liked it, it's in my top three disney animated films for sure, it had no singing, and I enjoyed that, musical do get annoying after a while, plus it's less kiddy than films like Snow white, and Cinderella, I think the problem was they really over spent, by having to totally reanimate certain things costing twice as much, and not making the amount of money that they wanted.

A classy movie without bling-bling songs, commented by a straightforward and monotone voice without bling-bling youtuberish novelties. Awesome.

I wonder how good it would be Disney made a live action of it and catered it to the correct audience this time. I’d love to see a movie like that (especially since it’s not a musical and it’s an authentic thriller) 🌸

And also, The Golden Pelydryn doesn't float or change color in the books.

I like The Black Cauldron

I love it classic

Best disney movie ever made

You see, Gurgi is the rhymer, Eilonwy makes the similes, and Fflewddur exaggerates the facts. All 3 of them could be writers.

Yes! This is one of my favorite Disney movies! And I absolutely love the book series!!

I love this movie

i love this movie so much that i ove taran and eilonwy too

I'm glad that The Black Cauldron didn't have any songs. It probably would have ruined it. I don't think these types of adventure movies need musicals.

i loved this movie

Far above the mediocre stories Disney puts out today

I can appreciate the points you're maiking, but I love the Prydain books more than most, and the first time I saw this movie, I hated it. I appreciate that they tried to do something different, but in my opinion, these stories just shouldn't even BE Disney animated movies. However, Don Bluth would've KILLED this project.

*no god no god please no no no nooo!!!!!!!*

Did you know that the film got an R rating or so that's what people thought that's what the rating was gonna be. Disney should've shown this film to the Mpaa and the mpaa people should've thought about cutting out some of the scenes. But disney had to cut the scenes, due to the test screening scare with the kids and parents.

I think of this as Lord of the Rings

8:00 💀: I hope they do Reboot it. They better name it The Chronicles Of Prydain. 🗡💀👑 Make it feel like Into The Unknown Fantasy. 🏞 no singing.
